Book excerpt: A highly detailed training program for hunters who wish to push their airgun hunting skills to an advanced level of proficiency Having worked with some of the world's leading air rifle and scope manufacturers to produce this remarkable work, the author instructs the shooter on the mechanics of the long-range hunting air rifle and scope, and provides instructions on rifle servicing and maintenance. He also discusses the precision alignment of the scope with the bore of the rifle on which it is mounted, explains the use of the chronograph, analyzes the fine tuning of hunting air rifles to improve their accuracy, and examines the employment of night-vision equipment and other devices for hunting at night and in dull light. Fitness training for the shooter is covered, as is the use of camouflage. He also considers the mindset of the marksman and the techniques of marksmanship, and describes two very demanding marksmanship tests.
